Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann in row over Derry Bid to hold Fleadh

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

The Derry City Branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann are tabling a bid to host the Fleadh in Derry City in 2013 as part of the UK city of culture bid. It has failed to date because it hasnt been backed at county level. Any thoughts?

Too many arsewipes in Derry, wouldn't make a good venue.

Armagh deffo out then

Armagh would be a great venue, full of culture and tradition, perfect size, good venues and everyone would get a warm welcome. There was talk of an Armagh bid in the late 90s but was deferred as Warrenpoint was seen as the preferred northern venue.

Bíodh ciall agat! Sure its full of smugglers, people with buckfast addictions, a culture of violence and a tradition of making everyone convinced that orange is a repulsive colour

Is it not going to Derry as part of the City of Culture in 2013.

The Derry bid has hit a bump in the road. They couldnt get full county support because of the UK element. Some of the South Derry branches couldnt support it for this reason

They're just right! Is the Fleadh not normally held in small towns?

Not too sure it has got anything to do with size but i do agree that small/medium sized towns may be better suited. If Derry did get it it would be probably centred around a dozen bars near the city centre to replicate the smaller town feel

Has anyone tried that recyled toilet paper?

It sounds awful but probably okay on the whole. Bum bum!

Haven't tried it. But it has to be better than the Sun Newspaper. We used to use that, but it was awful when it crushed up into a hard point and jabbed you arse- wile sore.

Sligo and Ennis were the other two possibilities mentioned on the news for the 2013 Fleadh.
